Research on Optimizing Management Courses Based on the Competency Model

With the intensification of market competition and the evolving demands of organizational strategies, traditional management courses are revealing limitations in enhancing job competencies. To address the challenges in talent development and achieve a precise alignment between talent demand and supply, it is crucial to improve the effectiveness of talent cultivation. This research focuses on the optimization of management courses by addressing issues such as unclear course objectives, a mismatch between course content and job competency requirements, limited teaching methods, and the lack of scientific assessment approaches. Drawing upon the competency model, this study employs a literature analysis to explore the core theories and practical applications of the competency model. Six dimensions of competencies for grassroots managers are identified: professional ethics, self-efficacy, professional expertise, team leadership, execution capabilities, and interpersonal skills. Through a case study analysis, the existing courses are diagnosed and their shortcomings are identified. Action research is then utilized, integrating the competency model to design strategies for optimizing the courses. By precisely aligning the objectives of the courses with the requirements of job competencies, the knowledge, skills, and implicit qualities of managers can be enhanced. This approach aims to bridge the gap between course objectives and competencies, align course content with job requirements, diversify teaching methods, and introduce diverse assessment approaches. The ultimate goal is to shorten the talent development cycle, improve the adaptability of talents to their positions, and provide both theoretical support and practical pathways for the efficient cultivation of talents in management courses.
